The Lost and Found
The Lost and Found: Tales of Midnight Melancholy
Lyrics
There's a honky-tonk across the tracks
There is a honky-tonk establishment located across the tracks.
It's called The Lost and Found
The honky-tonk is named "The Lost and Found."
And anytime both night or day
Regardless of the time (night or day), there is always the sound of a jukebox.
You hear the jukebox sound
One can always hear the music coming from the jukebox.
It's playing sad and lonesome songs
The jukebox plays melancholic and lonely songs that complement the experience of drinking beer.
That help the beer go down
These sad songs enhance the enjoyment of beer.
You always have a song to count on
There is always a reliable song playing at The Lost and Found.
At The Lost and Found
The Lost and Found is a place where you can count on finding a suitable song.
They always take good care of you
The staff at The Lost and Found always takes good care of the patrons.
At The Lost and Found
Reiteration of the care and service provided at The Lost and Found.
And when the closing lights come on
Even when the closing lights come on, patrons linger around.
You're still hanging 'round
People stay at The Lost and Found even after closing time.
'Cause if you're in for a penny
Committing to something, whether small (a penny) or big (a pound).
Then you're in for a pound
Once committed, it's challenging to disengage.
You always seem to lose yourself
It's easy to lose oneself in the atmosphere of The Lost and Found.
At The Lost and Found
Reiteration of the idea that patrons often lose themselves in the ambiance of the place.
The proprietor sets you up a tab
The owner allows patrons to run a tab if they delve too deep into their drinking.
If you seek too deep
A caution about excessive drinking, suggesting a potential need for credit.
And the barmaid gently wakes you
The barmaid gently wakes up patrons who fall asleep at the bar.
If you fall asleep
Patrons may fall asleep due to the effects of alcohol.
And asks you if you need a cab
The barmaid offers assistance, asking if the patron needs a cab or another round.
Or maybe one more round
Additional care and consideration for the well-being of patrons.
They always take good care of you
Reiteration of the good care provided by the staff at The Lost and Found.
At The Lost and Found
Continued emphasis on the positive and caring environment of The Lost and Found.
They always take good care of you
Reiteration of the consistent care provided by the establishment.
At The Lost and Found
Emphasizing the reliability of the service at The Lost and Found.
And when the closing lights come on
Even after closing time, patrons still remain at The Lost and Found.
You're still hanging 'round
Reiteration of the lingering atmosphere after closing.
'Cause if you're in for a penny
Commitment, once made, is not easy to break.
Then you're in for a pound
Being fully committed, regardless of the consequences.
You always seem to lose yourself
It's easy to lose oneself entirely in the experience at The Lost and Found.
At The Lost and Found
Reiteration of the idea that patrons often lose themselves in the ambiance of the place.
You always seem to lose yourself
Emphasizing the recurring theme of losing oneself in the environment of The Lost and Found.
At The Lost and Found
Final reiteration of the idea that patrons often lose themselves in the ambiance of the place.
